RE: Problems with Column Alignment on Report

[Brian Parkins <parkib@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Vivienne, I think the only way you will achieve the column alignment you 
wish is to use the POSITION keyword.  This means you will have to replace 
the use of SKIP/SPACE keywords (and Line/Column positioning) and rely on 
some logic in your code to handle 'vertical movement' down the page.

This is fairly easy to do as POSITION allows variable - as well as 
constant -values to be specified.  The ENDPAGE keyword also comes in handy 
as well when dealing with 'overflow'.

You are presently using typographic fonts - yet the relative positioning 
(Line/Column) across the page is monospaced.  Hence the results you see.

Another alternative might be to use the AFPU (or similar) utility instead 
of DDS.

Hope this helps.
